Troodon Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks for the info its hard to say much with just a photo. Looks like a real egg, could stand additional preparation and stabilization of loose eggshell before more breaks off. Some of the loose shell might have been reattached. Its probably a Dendroolithus type egg but without a provenance I cannot be certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebo Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thank you so much. To mee, I dosn't look like the images on the forum showing fakes eggs. I like the way the egg shell is inside the red matrix(?). However, It looks like there have been done some careless gluing / cementing. Bad? restauration could also be made on a fake one, to make it look like a real one. I was wandering if there ars som sort of test, fx. taking a little piece of shell, it should contain calcium?

TeethCollector Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The shape, color, and matrix looks very similar to my egg. Probably came from Heyuan, China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
